In the first out of three public lectures, Swamiji spoke on the subject of "You are the problem and You are the solution". The big enemy of the man kind is his ego. Man changes his nature led by the problems like water gets shape of the vessel in which it is poured in. You leave the world, you leave the wealth, but, your inner ego and much bigger ego of your so called "Tyag" ever fight with your inner soul. Some times, you feel that you are well educated and doing every kind of services that will be a cause of ego. To make your self free from that you do Shastang Namaskar to all, that would be a new ego of being the most courteous person. All such types of ego may surface any time any where. So, be alert "
Second lecture : It was on the subject of Guru Dattatreya and his twenty four Gurus. Third was on Geeta Amrutam in which he talked on karma Yoga . By doing selfless service you purify your heart. Egoism, hatred, jealousy, ideas of superiority and all the kindred negative qualities will vanish. You will develop humility, pure love, sympathy, tolerance and mercy. Sense of separateness will be annihilated. Selfishness will be eradicated. You will get a broad and liberal outlook on life. You will begin to feel oneness and unity. Eventually you will obtain knowledge of the Self. You will realize One in all and All in one.
June 26, 2017 evening, Pujya Shri Swami Adhyatmanandaji Maharaj left for his tour of two months for USA, Canada & UK.
Om Shanti !
